Will the Sun Ever Shine Again?

[EbonyPatriot]

Streched on the hearthrug in a deep content,
Fond as fire as I.
Oh, there was something with the old dog went
I had not thought could die! ~"The Mansion Yard."

We put my old golden retriever Watson to sleep today. I held her head as she was injected, crying on her fur.

What words can describe the emotions I feel? Watson had been as constant to me as the sun coming up- I can't remember a day without her. And even now, I can't believe that she's gone. No, no can capture my sorrow.

I know that Watson's better off now, that it was the best thing we could do for her- but that still doesn't ease the pain.

I miss her. I wish more than anything that she would come back.

I feel so empty, so lost- like I'll never be happy again.

Good-bye Watson, Semper Fi, my best friend. You will live on in my heart and soul. I will never forget you.

Maybe soon the storm will be tired of blownin'
Maybe it all will be over, amen.
How do you go on, if there's no way of knowin'?

Will the sun ever shine?
Wish I could say.
Send me a sign, one little ray
Lord if you're list'nin', how long until then?
Will the sun ever shine again? ~"Will the Sun Ever Shine Again", Home on the Range.

That's so sad. I know how you feel. 7 years ago I had to put my dog to sleep too. and now i have an old dog, and i don't think he will live very long

I wish i could cheer you up

[Nikiski]

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that, EP... I wish I can write more but I can't. My mind is empty and I can't write

But anyways... I hope that she'll rest in peace and hope you feel better soon. I'm not a great writer so I think that's the best I can say. If sending me emails help then do so.

Everyone has to die someday, believe it or not... It's whether you either feared for her death, or feared for her living. I bet she had a good life. Noone lives forever. But their souls, not their bodies. THEIR souls...they..live forever...In your heart...

I'm sorry EP.... :-XI may be heading down that road soon for an old fart-ball dog I've had and taken granted since the day we moved in this house... He may not live too long either... Yellow...

Anyway. this isnt about my dog...It's about yours. And i hope you feel better soon.

[Epesi]

EP, I'm sorry. I know how you're feeling, and if you ever want to talk, I'm here. We'll all be here.

[Truttle]

My condolences E.P. Losing a loved one is an overwhelming experience. I hope you can find closure soon. Like Epesi said. We’ll be here to comfort and support you.

[Ken'ichi]

I'm sorry about losing a friend, EP. I know how you feel. Ken'ichi may be my original character and his family's death may be fictionous. But, being my character and all, it's like I placed part of my soul in him, and I actually feel his pain when it comes to reminding his family's death. And believe it or not, I actually shed tears everytime I write a post in a RP that involves having to recall Ken'ichi's family's gruesome end.

Again, I'm sorry about your friend. And like Epesi and Truttle said, we're here for you whenever you need comfort and support. We're your friends and our arms are always open to comfort.

Thank you so much everyone- your kind and sympathic words have been the ray of light mentioned in the song I quoted.

I still miss her- I knew she was dying. I knew her deathwas coming for the past two months. But until recently she hadn't acting like she was in pain.

Writer that I am, I can still of no words to express my gratitude to you guys: Mohegan, Nikiski, Spectrum, Epesi, Truttle, Ken'ichi. Thanks you. *Hugs you all.*

Live long and prosper.

I'm so very sorry. It's hard losing a loved one, like your losing a part of yourself. It's never easy. I want you to know I'm here for you, and hold you and Watson in my heart.
